Epic downpour just north of Reading yesterday around lunchtime, with added hailstones. Real proper job.

As usual it split around Burghfield

Wife went to Little London in the evening and reported remnants of hail still on the ground.

I went out and checked the cars for damage. It was that heavy. All well fortunately.

I was driving as it came over the Chilterns and had to pull over as I had less than a metre visibility... as I pulled away it was like the road was covered in sheet ice, I've never experienced anything like it! Also thought I was going to get home and see a million small dents all over my new car

Minus 9C tonight , - 14 forecast for Monday night . Last of the garden/deck packed away until Spring , lots of snow popping up randomly so I guess we've now crossed the line , bugger .

Him indoors had to defrost the car this morning, I'm still holding off putting the thermals on, but it can't be long now.

Also first frost on the screen for me today, bugger!

Spectacular start to the day, cold and clear with not a cloud in the sky. Typically it looks like it's going to be properly st tomorrow.

Blimey, where do you live? Still nice and seasonally warm down south.

Frosty here too, totally unforecast as usual.

Frosty in Aberdeenshire, got down to 0c overnight.
Lovely day though!

Beautiful day a here in MK, breeze is a little cold but there is not a cloud in the sky as far as you can see. Going to be a cold night though if it doesnt change

-5C last night and 1cm of snow. Still no settling on the roads, though, ground temps still too high for that.
21c forecast for Tuesday

I've been trying my best to get the snow out of CO so you are welcome.

It was a mess up here last night with all the snow. I70 ground to a complete standstill, in part thanks to people who had no clue how to drive in winter conditions, or truck drivers who didn't chain up.

It's apparent that even Coloradoans forget how to drive in snow over summer.

Does anyone know if there's a UK-only thread?
